SINGAPORE: Liquidators of four companies linked to recovery efforts in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal have sued DBS Bank, seeking an estimated S$1.298 billion ($1.03 billion) in damages, Southeast Asia's largest lender DBS said on Wednesday (Sep 9).
The claimants include the liquidators of four companies: Blackrock Commodities (Global), Platinum Global Luxury Services, Affinity Equity International Partners and TKIL Global Investments. The liquidators did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Malaysian state fund 1MDB, or 1Malaysia Development Berhad, co-founded by then Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2009, was at the heart of a global corruption scandal in which US authorities said at least US$4.5 billion was misappropriated, sparking investigations and asset-recovery efforts worldwide.
At the time, there was no claim against DBS, according to the lender's statement.

新加坡：东南亚最大的贷款机构星展银行周三（9月9日）表示，与数十亿美元的1MDB丑闻的追偿工作有关的四家公司的清算人已起诉星展银行，寻求约12.98亿新元（10.3亿美元）的赔偿。
索赔方包括四家公司的清算人：Blackrock Commodities (Global)、Platinum Global Luxury Services、Affinity Equity International Partners 和 TKIL Global Investments。清算人尚未回复路透社的置评请求。
马来西亚国家投资基金 1MDB（一马发展有限公司）由时任总理纳吉布·拉扎克于 2009 年共同创立，是全球腐败丑闻的核心。美国当局称，该基金至少挪用了 45 亿美元，引发了全球范围内的调查和资产追回行动。
根据贷款方的声明，当时并没有针对星展银行的索赔。
